To Marco:
If, for any reason, you had to pick between vocals and playing bass, which would be? Why?
This is really a hard one because I define myself so much by both singing and playing. I'm just happy to have both. If something happened to my voice or my fingers, I'd still be lucky to have the other to fall back on. If something happened to both, I don't know if I could survive.

To Marco:

What made you decide to be involved with Kuorosota this year? Even though I am in the US, I have caught all of your choir's performances on the internet! It's very good!
The reward going to the charity and not to my own pocket. The challenge of doing something I've never done before. And the possibility of gathering a bunch of really crazy people and having a lot of fun together.

To Marco:
How did you like Brazilian beer and crowd?
PS.: We made some kind of poll for "bassist of our dreams" and you won!
I loved the crowd and I love beer universally! Thank you verrrry much!

To Marco:
You've stated you're a video game lover. What would be your favorite game?
Thanks for your time. You're quite possibly the best (male) singer I've ever heard.
Possibly Planescape Torment. An RPG in a same vein as the Baldur's Gate series, but the world was a whole lot weirder.

Thank you!

Can we expect a soloalbum from Marco Hietala anytime? It would be great to have a whole album full of songs where the singer would be only Hietala.
Well... I've had this continuing work in progress over ten years now. The idea would be to have a distinct world of colliding musical elements, and the lyrics for the whole thing would be in finnish and english both. Like I said: Over ten years in progress. Might happen sooner, later or never
